		<title>Dr Kludge: Init from  PHPWiki</title>
		<link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://mail.knoppix.net/wiki3/index.php?title=Cat&amp;diff=7004&amp;oldid=prev"/>

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Init from  PHPWiki&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;cat: Concatenate&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
cat filename...&lt;br /&gt;
where filename... may be one or more files.&lt;br /&gt;
cat displays the content of filename... on the standard output. If more than one file is used, they are displayed one after the other creating a larger file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Output redirection may be used to copy the contents of files into another file. An example is&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 cat *.c &amp;gt; tot.cprog&lt;br /&gt;
This will copy the contents of all files ending with .c, into file tot.cprog. The order of the files within tot.cprog will be alphabetical.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
cat can be used to append one file to another:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 cat file2 &amp;gt;&amp;gt; file1&lt;br /&gt;
will append file2 to file1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[cat]] command can also be used in pipe sequences or used to create files in shell scripts.&lt;br /&gt;
 cat - &amp;gt; mynewfile.txt &amp;lt;&amp;lt; CATEOF&lt;br /&gt;
 line 1&lt;br /&gt;
 line 2&lt;br /&gt;
 line 3&lt;br /&gt;
 CATEOF&lt;br /&gt;
The -, dash, is used to take input from the keyboard or in the case of this shell script example from all the lines following the [[cat]] line.  Notice how '''&amp;lt;&amp;lt; CATEOF''' is used.  The '''&amp;lt;&amp;lt;'' tells the shell script to that input is going to be taking from lines in the shell script while the -, dash, tells [[cat]] to read from the stdin. '''CATEOF''' is just some sequence of characters that you invent.  The token name means [[cat]] End Of File.  In this example, the script starts to look for a matching '''CATEOF''' search token.  The closing search token must start at the first character on the line.&lt;br /&gt;
